Description:Advance Praise for Make the World a Better PlaceThe world is facing multiple crises. But what can we do? "Make the World a Better Place" helps answer that question. Kozma's deep analyses coupled with case studies of groups already at work makes this an essential book for everyone: citizens, designers, and most importantly, decision makers in business and government.Don Norman, PhDDistinguished professor and founder of the Design Lab, EmeritusUniversity of California, San DiegoAuthor of Design for a Better WorldHas design lost its moral compass? Kozma's 'Design a Better World' comes at important time in human history as unintended consequences of design are causing harm and benefits at scale. This book is a must read for all with an interest in the future of design." Jim Spohrer, PhDApple and IBM retired executiveBoard of Directors, International Society of Service Innovation ProfessionalsDr. Kozma shares his decades of his experience designing and studying designs for the audacious goal of making our lives and world better. He offers concrete principles and processes to help us design better and to think critically about the designs in our lives. The book is fun to read with informative case studies that demonstrate the myriad ways that design impacts us all. The world is in need of better design, and Kozma's book shows us how to get there.Mark Guzdial, PhDDirector, Program in Computing for the Arts and Sciences,College of Literature, Science, and the ArtsProfessor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,College of EngineeringUniversity of MichiganI have come to see that, at one level, democracy is a design problem - from the writing of a constitution to the structure of a Town Hall meeting to the layout of a ballot. But today's crisis of democracy runs deep and turns on the function of society itself. To address this larger societal problem, Kozma expands the scope of Design in this comprehensive and compelling book. Here broad theory and detailed application inform each other, pointing the way toward a society in which individuals and communities can flourish and the ideals of democratic governance may come to fruition.Robert Cavalier, PhDDirector, Program for Deliberative DemocracyEmeritus Teaching Professor of PhilosophyCarnegie Mellon UniversityFollowing on Don Norman's landmark books ("Design of Everyday Things" and "Emotional Design"), Kozma's "Make the World a Better Place" crystallizes, in accessible prose, with plenty of detail, where the field of designing "everyday things" needs to be going. Kozma's book is a GPS for HCI.Elliot Soloway, PhDArthur F. Thurnau ProfessorComputer Science and Engineering, College of EngineeringUniversity of MichiganThis book is true to its title in helping the reader understand at the deepest level how each of us can make the world a better place. It neither preaches nor simplifies the task, but rather presents through captivating real-world examples of design successes and failures across multiple fields the moral imperative of designing well. Reading the manuscript has taught me that we are all in some way designers, and it has enhanced my work as a law professor and foundation executive.Jay Folberg, JDProfessor and Dean EmeritusSchool of LawUniversity of San FranciscoFounding Executive Director, The JAMS FoundationI highly recommend Bob Kozma's new book, "Make the World a Better Place: Design with Passion, Purpose, and Values". This book is an important--and timely--addition to that of other pioneers in many fields who have been promoting the importance of students' learning design thinking/doing in K-16 (and graduate school) education. But more than this, it deals with issues that are often not emphasized--values, ethics, and connecting passion with purpose. This book will be invaluable to learners and designers of all ages and backgrounds in collaborating together to to deal with solving complex, sometimes called "wicked," problems and issues requiring transdisciplinary, systems thinking, on a global scale--and critical to our survival and continued growth.Ted M. Kahn, PhDCEO and Chief Futurist and Learning ArchitectDesignWorlds for Learning andDesignWorlds for College and CareersAs a society we have the means to design our way out of wicked problems. Good design can reduce harm, increase happiness, and improve equity and shared prosperity. This knowledge is powerful. It can fill us with optimism. Kozma gets to the very root of design's relationship to culture and the real human consequences that flow from the design process.
